Mr. Speaker, what the government did not explain to Canadians, was what a 1% cut in the GST would mean to this average family. That family would have to purchase $40,000 of taxable goods to get the same tax savings, which it will have to cut to pay for this unholy GST cut.
Does the member agree that a family making $60,000 could not spend $40,000 and does he understand and admit that companies may not even pass that savings on to those consumers?
